Opening after Hurricane Helene on Friday, Oct 11!

Then open Wed-Sunday 10-5

In the wake of Hurricane Helene, we recognize the profound impact that this disaster has had on the southeastern United States, our community, friends and families. We are very fortunate that our staff are safe. Our main location in Asheville has power and little damage which we are also grateful for. As we come together to rebuild and heal, we invite our community to reconnect through outdoor recreation. Engaging in outdoor activities promotes well-being and we invite you to do that with us! Please email with questions: info@adventurecenterofasheville.com. Our office phones are back online, so you can call us at 828.225.2921.

Current status at ACA: We have power, but no running water. We do have several port-a-johns and a foot-pump hand washing station.

Donate To Our Staff: Many of our team members have had severe losses from the storm. If you're not able to visit us in person, please consider making a donation to help our staff in recovery. CLICK HERE TO DONATE

Great guides! True treetop experience. This was our 2nd time zip lining. Love the on ground practice course to get comfortable with the equipment. Will return for the longer course. Great addition to seeing Biltmore for the kids and kids at heart.

I and tow other school employees took a group of students here as part of a summer program. Not only were the staff informative and knowledgeable about their jobs and safety, but they also engaged with and encouraged our group as we worked through the high ropes course. We absolutely LOVED this experience and hope to bring more groups in the future!

5 stars for treetop ropes course!!! 3 stars for zip lining. Zip lining was average at best, good staff, just boring lines. Ropes course was soooo fun!!! Great variation of difficulty with the hardest ones being genuinely hard in addition to ‘scary heights’ The staff was so kind and knowledgeable! Would definitely recommend

The two crew members that assisted my party were very helpful, patient, kind, and entertaining. Caleb definitely helped calm down nerves with his quick wit and humor and his partner (who name I regret not remembering but she had blond curly hair I believe) were excellent and I highly recommend coming here to anyone
